oj1709,
First of all, I am a big fan of David Blaine, I also went to see David's stunt in NYC in 1999, yes, a stunt, not intended
Water Fast for healing or cleansing or losing weight.
Dr.
Shelton talks about stunt fasters in his book. David Blaine had done this fast with all wrong conditions. Most importantly he only drank 3 tablespoons of water per day, which was a bad idea. His doctors had no clue about what
Water Fast means otherwise they would have not allowed him to even start that fast. We should know that stunt fasting is so different than one fasting within their own domain resting, sleeping, drinking as per thirst and keeping warm. David is a vegan, and in my opinion that may have helped him, otherwise he would have been in a big trouble. Obviously he broke the fast in a wrong way, because he was in the hands of ignorant people.
I am sorry but this article has too many stupid remarks by people who do not know anything about fasting with water only. But I will not go in detail about it here, otherwise it will be a big essay.
Important things for you to know is if you have any doubt or fear about the fast or feeding after the fast, I would suggest that you bring yourself to understand how fast works, what your body does during a fast and how to break the fast in order to get rid of the fear prior to commencing the fast. It is good to be cautious and be prepared. Good things is that you have fasted before, that will help you a lot.
Please read these chapters from Dr. Shelton's book, which if you have already, please read it again.

If you want to read about normal people who have done
Water Fasts beyond 30 days, you have come to the right place, CZ has so many examples and you can read their old posts and empower yourself.
Good luck.
Peace.
